Tips:

- It's a good idea to backup your emails regularly to prevent data loss in case of a system crash or other disaster.
Remember to always keep a copy of your backed-up emails in a safe location, such as an external hard drive or cloud storage service, to ensure that your emails are protected in case of a disaster.
